Today we remember and celebrate the life of Michael A. Rubalcaba, Mike to many of us, who passed away on October 15, 2026, at the age of 65. He touched the lives of those around him in his own special way, leaving behind memories filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Mike shared over 30 beautiful years with his loving partner, Rosie. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, family, and countless memories. Through life's joys and challenges, they remained by each other's side, sharing a bond built on love, companionship, and devotion. With his endless trips to the casinos with his sisters, Mike found happiness in sharing life's simple pleasures.
Anyone who knew Mike knew he loved a good conversation and could easily talk your ear off! He always had a story to tell or a few words of wisdom to share from his own life experiences. He enjoyed offering advice and passing along the lessons he had learned over the years.
In 2020, Mike suffered a stroke that changed many aspects of his daily life. Although life looked a little different afterward, his loving spirit remained. With Rosie by his side, he continued to enjoy life, surrounded by the love and companionship they had shared for so many years. Their journey together was a beautiful reminder that love is not only found in the good times but also in the strength, patience, and devotion shared through life's challenges.
Mike leaves behind a loving family, including his children, stepchildren, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sisters, nieces, and nephews. Each will carry their own special memories of him, from his endless conversations and playful teasing to the advice he loved to share and the love he gave in his own unique way.
As he is laid to rest, we find comfort in the memories, laughter, and love Mike leaves behind. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever hold a special place in our hearts.
